General Experimental Section. CB[10] was prepared by the literature procedures. [1] The guests used in this study were prepared by the literature procedures or purchased from commercial suppliers and were used without further purification. Melting points were measured on a Meltemp apparatus in open capillary tubes and are uncorrected. IR spectra were recorded on commercial spectrophotometers as KBr pellets and are reported in cm -1. NMR spectra were measured on spectrometers operating at 400 or 500 MHz for 1 H and 100 or 125 MHz for 13 C. Mass spectrometry was performed using a VG 7070E magnetic sector instrument by fast atom bombardment (FAB) using the indicated matrix or on a JEOL AccuTOF electrospray instrument. Fluorescence spectra were measured on a Photon Technologies International LS-100 luminescence spectrometer, with excitation and emission monochrometer bandpasses set at 3 nm and an excitation wavelength of 420 nm. Time-resolved fluorescence was measured on the same solutions using a Photon Technologies International Timemaster fluorescence lifetime spectrometer, with excitation at 380 nm (for increased excitation lamp intensity as compared to 420 nm as used for the steady-state measurements) and emission measured at 630 nm. This instrument measures fluorescence decay curves using the stroboscopic technique; [3] resulting decay curves were well fit to one-exponential decay functions using supplied deconvolution software, with excellent χ 2 fit parameters (typically in the range of 0.90 to 1.2). Purging the solutions with Ar to remove O 2 was found to have no measurable effect on either steady-state fluorescence intensities or fluorescence lifetimes. Voltammetric experiments were recorded with a BAS 100B/W electrochemical workstation, using a single-compartment glass cell fitted with a working glassy carbon electrode (0.071cm 2 ), a Pt auxiliary electrode and a Ag/AgCl reference electrode. All solutions were purged with purified nitrogen to remove residual oxygen before the experiments. The working electrode was polished with a 0.05-µm alumina/water slurry on a felt surface. Computational results were obtained using Spartan 02 running on a Macintosh personal computer. UV/Vis titrations were performed on a Cary 100 UV/Vis instrument with 1 cm pathlength cells at 298K and analyzed using Associate v. 1.6. [2] References: [1] S. Liu, P. Y. Zavalij, L. Isaacs, J. Am.

Expansions Figure S34. UV/Vis spectra recorded for CB[10] 2 (10 µm, 25 mm sodium phosphate buffer, pd 7.4, RT) during titration with isoquinoline (0 74 µm). Two successive isosbestic points (1 st isosbestic point, blue arrows; 2 nd isosbestic point, red arrows) are noted during this titration. This observation is consistent with the formation of ternary (e.g. CB[10] 2 isoquinoline) and quaternary (CB[10] 2 isoquinoline 2 ) complexes. Alternatively, this observation could reflect conformational heterogeneity in this system. Unfortunately, we have not been able to elucidate the geometrical details of these complexes because they do not exhibit slow exchange kinetics on the chemical shift timescale above 1:0.5 stoichiometry (see Figure S35 and S36).
